Question

(iii) Write one function of each Microbe used in clean technology:
Microbes
Functions
(a) Geobacter
(b) HCB bacteria
(c) Thiobacilli
(d) Actinomycetes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Geobacter is a microbe use in clean technology to oxidize compounds such as metals.

Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) are bacteria that function majorly in the biodegradation of oil hydrocarbons in marine and other environments.

Actinomycetes is a microbe use in the production of antibiotics and recycling of organic matter in the soil.

Thiobacilli are bacteria that have the ability to obtain energy from the oxidation of sulphur and reduced inorganic sulphur bonds. They are Majorly acidophilic or are called acid tolerant bacteria and they are capable of fixing able CO2.

Answer 2

The study of a living being is called biology.

The answer is mentioned below.

Those species which are not able to see with naked eyes are called microorganisms. According to the question, the uses of microbes are as follows:-

• Geobacter is a microbe used in clean technology to oxidize compounds such as metals. It helps in the purification of the metals

• Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) are bacteria that function majorly in the biodegradation of oil hydrocarbons in marine and other environments. It helps in cleaning the polluted water.

• Actinomycete is a microbe used in the production of antibiotics and recycling organic matter in the soil.

• Thiobacilli are bacteria that have the ability to obtain energy from the oxidation of sulfur and reduced inorganic sulfur bonds. They are Majorly acidophilic or are called acid-tolerant bacteria and they are capable of fixing able CO2. It also helps in the denitrification of nitrogen.

Hence, these are uses of microbes.
